Built circa 1760. Picturesquely-sited T-plan Gothic church
remodelled and raised 3/4 masonry courses circa 1900, style
of James Barbour of Dumfries. Circa 1689 square-plan Jardine
Burial enclosure at E end of S wall has good classical
detailing. All rubble-built with ashlar dressings; mostly
whitewashed, CHURCH: most openings hood-moulded with exposed
long and short worked dressings; shallow gabled porch
centrally placed on each gable, traceried circular window on
E and W gables, other windows pointed; forestair to laird's
loft in E re-entrant angle of jamb. Gabletted skewputts;
saw-toothed skews; belfry over W gable. Roofed with graded
slates. Interior: essentially circa 1900, including laird's
loft in N jamb; pulpit central on long S wall between 2 World
War I memorial windows; continuous string course stepped as
hood-mould over openings; open timbered roof.
JARDINE BURIAL ENCLOSURE: continuous eaves course, cornice
and blocking course, doorway central on S wall, lugged
architrave and broken pediment with crest in tympanum;
similarly treated pediment to pilastered (capitals not
executed) monument against W wall, latter with large
supporting scrolled brackets. Table tomb nearby.
CHURCHYARD: roughly quadrangular area (extended to N late
19th century) enclosed by ashlar-coped rubble-built walls,
rusticated square gatepiers to S gate and to both gates on E
wall; gate on E wall nearest church is late 17th/mid 18th
century with good cornices with ogee caps (?formerly
ball-finialed). Mostly 18th and 19th century stone monuments,
many with good classical ornament, some will sculptured
figures; Egypto-Greek Jardine monument at SW end of
churchyard possibly by Walter Newall.
Ecclesiastical building in use as such. Detached cemetery
enclosure to N not included in listing. NSA states that walls
were "stoothed" (plastered) in 1822, and laird's gallery
built 1808.
